People In Minnesota Now Warned Not To Travel To These Locations

We're well into spring, with summer fast approaching, and that means kids will be getting out of school, and people will start planning fun trips to take before 2025 is over.

A recent survey showed that Americans tend to start planning vacations most actively in the spring and early summer, with many booking trips around major holidays.

AAA conducted a survey and discovered that 86% of people in Minnesota are planning to travel this year, with 41% planning to take more vacations than last year. Minnesotans are known for liking adventure, so I'd bet that many people plan on traveling to unique destinations rather than hitting the typical tourist hotspots.

While those types of vacations are exhilarating and often the most memorable, you must thoroughly research unfamiliar destinations so you don't put yourself in harm's way. Below is an updated list of destinations you should avoid.

The Official 2025 U.S. Government 'Do Not Travel' List

Traveling to unique and exotic places rather than the usual tourist traps can be quite an adventure. However, it's crucial to research your destination thoroughly.

While every trip comes with some risk, requiring you to mind your surroundings and take some precautions, there are some places you should probably avoid because the risks far outweigh the benefits.

The United States government has a convenient website that helps by listing travel advisories they have in place for countries all over the world, ranking the risk from Level 1 through Level 4.

You should NOT travel there if a country is issued a Level 4 advisory. As of May 2025, the countries below are on the 'Do Not Travel' list.
